Common cause: gram-negative bacteria are the bacteria that most often cause simple cystitis. typically these are bacteria that live harmlessly in your lower intestinal tract. They cause problems when they migrate up to urethra into the bladder and result in a bladder infection.

Low immunity: Most gram negative bacteria that cause UTIs are part of the normal flora. They usually cause infection when body's immunity gets low or there is an imbalance in the composition of various organisms that live in the genital/anal area. Lowered immunity can cause frequent UTIs. Taking a zinc supplement 25-50 mg/day and a good probiotic daily might help solve the problem since they both boost immuny.
